Day 24 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop

Hello there.  It's Day 24 of the Smeared and Smudged 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.  That means only 7 more days of projects.  Kinda sad I think.

Today's project is a 8x10 canvas featuring a stamp from Stitchy Bear.

I began by painting the whole thing with Making Memories acrylic paint in Peapod.  I then smeared some Mayco Flat Black acrylic paint strategically around the canvas.  I took my hot glue gun and randomly added some strings of glue.  I then added some creepy cloth while the glue was still hot.  Then, I tore a piece of patterned paper and adhered it with Modge Podge to the right side.  Then the fun started.  I just kept adding things until I got a look I liked.  I added some ribbon flowers, cachabons, gemstones, feathers, and a skeleton.  I cut off one of his arms and one of his legs and glued those in different spots on the canvas.  I did ink him a little with DI Vintage Photo because he was just too white.  The image  is a cute little zombie lady that I colored with Spectrum Noir pens and fussy cut, added some pop dots and stuck her on.

It didn't turn out exactly as I had planned, but it's ok, I guess.

Fairy Tail

Hello again.  I'm back with another card.  This one uses a freebie from Just Some Lines.  Jenn was sweet enough to give us this adorable image to work with this week.  If you would like to get this image and play along, click on the link below under Challenges and it will take you to Jenn's blog.

I have been on a pink and green kick for the last few days.  There are so many ways to combine these two colors that they have to be one of my favorites.

I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and colored it in using my Spectrum Noir pens.  I did add some Sakura Glitter pen to the fairy's wings.

I started with a 5" square card base using Old Olive (SU) card stock.  I then trimmed down one of the DPs from Cardmaking Magazine.  I used the reverse side to add the pink polka dotted strip.  I cut a panel of mottled green from DCWV and laid is wonky.  The hot pink card stock fishtail banner is also a little wonky.  I cut out the image and used pop dots to adhere it to the card.  The sentiment is from Nina Brackett's Heartily Yours Addition set and I stamped it in Versa Magic Purple.  I used my EK Success label punch and inked the edges with the Purple.  I added two pink pearls for some bling and that finished off the card.

I hope you like it.  Thanks for stopping in today.  God bless y'all.

Have a Very Mice Day

OK.  I have to admit that I am addicted.  I have it bad.  What am I addicted to?  House Mouse Stamps.   I just love them.  They are so dang cute. I have right around 10 of them and cannot wait to collect more.  I think I need a 12 step program.

This week over on Feeling Sketchy they have a very clean lined sketch for us.  There wasn't much interpreting to be done with this one.  I used one of my House Mouse stamps for this one. 

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and used colored pencils as my medium.  I am still learning to color with the alcohol pens so I usually rely on my good old trusty pencils.  I trimmed down the image to 3.5x5", matted it on a light pink and then a dark green, all by Colorbok.  I used a strip of pink and green striped DP from DCWV to go across the image and pop the sentiment.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black and matted it the same way.  The back ground DP is also from DCWV.  I used a piece of Bubblegum Pink from Colorbok as the card base.  I wanted this one to be fairly straight forward, so I didn't add embellishments.  I probably could have added some pearls to the corners, but I didn't.

I am also entering this card in the Created with Love anything goes challenge and the Outlawz CAS challenge for this week, and the Through the Craftroom Door challenge.

I hope you are enjoying my projects.  I am so thankful that I can once again craft.  Thank you so much for stopping in and the comments that you guys leave.  You have no idea how much I enjoy reading them.  God bless y'all.

Saturday Sketch

Hello peeps.  How is everyone this snow covered morn?  I woke up this morning to about 3 inches of snow.  Granted it's not alot compared to what Utah just received last week, but for me, it's plenty.  

Today's card was made to enter the Sketch Saturday Challenge.  I used an image from the internet for free.  I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers.  I used Spellbinders to cut out the image.  The sentiment is from a new stamp set I just bought from Gina K Designs called Heartily Yours.  The background paper is from my stash and the card base is Gina K's 120#: base weight white.  I added some sparkle twine for accent.  The image is inked in DI Vintage Photo and the sentiment is inked in Lady Bug from Memento.

I think it turned out pretty cute.  If any of you know who designed this digi stamp, I would love to know.  I cannot remember where I got it from so I can't give proper credit.  Thanks for stopping in today to see my latest creation.  Have a blessed day!
